Hair, Make-up and Costume - Female

'The Lady Is a Tramp' was first released in the 30s, however it also appeared in a film in the 40s and was covered by more icons in the 50s and 60s.




I have narrowed down my era to either the 1940s or 1950s. I find that mood boards are helpful for picturing what would work and what wouldn't work.



1940s

1950s

The style that I do decide to go with will depend on the practicalities - what dresses/skirts my actress and I own and how we can make them work.

I met up with my lead actress to try on some different outfits and see what works best.

This spotty dress works much better with the petticoat as opposed to without. However, it looks a bit tacky and I would like to use something else for my lead actress, however I can make the lead actor's wife wear this dress.

Despite fitting my actress really well, this dress does not suit my genre that well as it is too modern-looking.

Out of these four shirts, the bottom one with flowers is my favourite, as the other three don't really go. This skirt is ideal for my shoot as it has a very vintage look. 

This outfit is also a bit too modern for my genre, as well as the skirt being too short.

This outfit looks better with the petticoat than without, however it is a bit dull.

I like this outfit on my actress because it fits her well and suits my genre.

This dress is genuinely vintage so suits my genre perfectly, however the length of the skirt is too short for the time era.

This outfit is my favourite out of all of them, probably with the black Doc Martens. As well as fitting my actress well, both the top and bottom pieces suit my genre perfectly.

I find this outfit too plain for my music video.

I have chosen to follow this hair tutorial when doing my actress's hair on Saturday. After watching a few different videos, this one stood out the most as the most relatively quickest and easiest to do without compromising the intricacy of vintage hairstyles.

Additionally, I will be mirroring this image's make-up on both my lead actress and the wife as it is simple yet very effective and appropriate for my genre and time era.
